There is nothing proportional to the price and profits,more growth more profits it may happen with bitcoin or a coin with the price of few cents.
But when you are buying a coin with less price the risk is too high.
It is all about the market cap of the specific coin, price doesn't matter in my opinion. The token with 0.000002$ price with 100 mln usd marketcap is more legit project compared to the project with 0.02$ with 10 mln usd marketcap.
